I have discovered that some bloggers post a picture of the sky when they are out of things to say. Some of them do it every week as a regular feature.
Now I like pretty pictures as well as the next person and I can understand why one might do such a thing occasionally, over the course of a year or so. It also certainly makes sense if your blog is about photography.
But I’m feeling that it is just a tad unfair to post a picture of the sky and nothing else. It’s NaBloPoMo! There are prizes and fame and bragging rights at stake. Write something for Pete’s sake.
Besides pictures of the sky- some bloggers fall back on memes, or You Tube Videos, or LOL Cats- I don’t really get why this is easier than writing something original but then it took me 3 days to figure out how to get the NaBloPoMo button on my sidebar. I’m guessing November would be long gone and I’d still be sitting here trying to post a video and swearing at the computer.
But then, I never understood why anyone needed Cliff Notes either-it always seemed easier to just read the book.
Having had my rant, here’s this:
You will note that it’s more than a picture of the sky- there’s some tree there. Because I like a little substance to my posts.
Yesterday I posted a YouTube video. 😦 But I DID also post other stuff along with it, and the video’s a cat riding on a Roomba vacuum cleaner, which my cat would never do. So I’m okay, right? RIGHT?
It’s not working. I can tell. I posted just a YouTube video to keep my NaBloPoMo cred. *sob*
Your sky picture, with added tree, is gorgeous!
We are doing well with NaBloPoMo aren’t we? I struggled yesterday but today I am very pleased with my post (smug face). After November is done I promised myself to post at least twice a week.
Loving your autumnal photo xx
I didn’t know there were prizes at stake! And fame? I would accept $5 and my name in skywriting. Don’t need much more than that…
